Chapter 169: Three-Tenths Domain! Famous Throughout Dazhou!

The crowd to the side saw this situation and showed surprise one after another.

They were also quite puzzled by Lu Zhangsheng's unhesitating leaning toward Qin Chaoyang's faction.

These top Heavenly Prides mostly waited for the best price and would not easily defect to one side.

They all wanted to strive for the greatest benefits for themselves in a short time.

Luo Tianxiang frowned, feeling quite dissatisfied in his heart.

He also wanted to win over this Lu Zhangsheng; he didn't expect Old Ghost Qin to act so quickly.

However, thinking of Qin Chaoyang's "sending his daughter" behavior, he felt some mockery; he had seen the behavior of Qin Ruoshui and Lu Zhangsheng in the Mountain and River Map with his own eyes.

Qin Ruoshui saw this and also had a joyful face.

The addition of a top Heavenly Pride was also a very strong help for their family.

Not to mention that the current situation of the Imperial Court was at a critical period of struggle between several Imperial Princes.

Lu Zhangsheng ignored the thoughts of the crowd.

He also speculated that Qin Chaoyang likely had some kind of relationship with Qin Ruobing.

That was why he didn't refuse the opponent's spiritual object.

At this time, he scanned the entire field with burning eyes: "Is there anyone else who wants to come up to challenge This Seat?"

The loud voice resounded throughout the entire square.

The crowd off-stage lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at Lu Zhangsheng.

This kind of terrifying pressure made the remaining group of people have no thoughts of challenging him at all.

Seeing that no one had answered for a long time, a black-clothed man immediately shouted:

"The Number Four Arena Master is born; Lu Zhangsheng's challenge is successful."

The referee also didn't dare to offend Lu Zhangsheng, so he quickly settled it.

The many Qingning Prefecture martial artists around cheered one after another; for a time, the scene was extremely lively.

Qin Ruoshui and Fang Qing and her brother were also extremely excited.

Lu Zhangsheng's successful challenge this time was equivalent to directly opening the path to the finals.

He was only one step away from reaching the top.

Subsequently, Lu Zhangsheng leaped and flew toward the front.

After a few flashes, he disappeared from the square.

He had no interest in the battles on the other arenas.

Ke Yanfeng and the other two were definitely the top three.

His opponents could only be these few people.

Soon, Lu Zhangsheng returned to a gorgeous courtyard.

Back when he was in the Mountain and River Map, his subordinates had already rented a villa for him, which was very convenient.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately opened the brocade box in his hand.

He saw a strange stone as white as jade lying quietly in the box.

It was also emitting a milky white radiance.

Lu Zhangsheng reached his hand into the box, took out the strange stone, and observed it carefully.

The stone was covered with golden textures, and wisps of coolness emanated from his fingertips.

【Strange object Millennium Ice Jade discovered; absorb?】

A crisp prompt sounded in his mind.

"Absorb."

Lu Zhangsheng thought silently.

【Source Energy Points +20,000.】

The spiritual object in his hand disappeared, and his own resources increased quite a bit.

"This Marquis Wuyang's handwriting is not small."

Lu Zhangsheng thought to himself.

This object could increase so many resource points; it was clearly quite precious.

He didn't expect the opponent to value him so much.

Subsequently, he put away his thoughts and opened the panel.

A blue light screen floated in the void in front of him.

Source Energy Points: 48,000.

Killing Domain: Two tenths (can add points).

Looking at the green plus sign behind, Lu Zhangsheng's eyes flickered.

Advancing to the late Innate stage required at least over one hundred thousand Source Energy Points.

Continuing to push the Killing Domain only required about forty thousand.

With a great battle imminent, every bit of improvement was precious.

The pangolin was still digging hard in the small world, so there was no need to worry about spiritual objects for now.

He prepared to add points to the Killing Domain first.

He didn't hesitate anymore and clicked immediately.

"Hum……"

A mysterious fluctuation descended into his mind instantly, as if an Ancestor of Dao were preaching to him.

Countless insights surged into his heart, and his understanding of slaughter was also rapidly improving.

【Killing Domain increased.】

【Killing Domain increased.】

……

【Killing Domain increased to three tenths.】

As several prompts sounded, this improvement officially ended.

Lu Zhangsheng gently spread out his domain, permeating the entire small courtyard.

Endless blood mist drifted around, which was very creepy.

Giant skeleton knights were born in the blood mist, holding long spears, their baleful aura soaring.

He discovered that the strength of his domain had increased by about half.

Even the skeleton knights inside had grown much larger, and their strength had increased quite a bit.

The strength increase brought by this improvement was still very large.

Even if those three giants had hidden their strength, he could still suppress them.

At that time, relying on the three-tenths Killing Domain, he could also give some ill-intentioned people a surprise.

……

The next few days.

Except for the Number Four Arena, the selection tournaments on the other arenas were still proceeding in full swing.

A large number of powerhouses took the stage one after another, competing for that one spot.

Among the top ten Heavenly Prides, only Lu Zhangsheng challenged successfully.

He also became the biggest dark horse of this session.

Another dark horse ended in a narrow defeat when challenging the sixth arena.

Countless people watched this battle.

It also further confirmed the terrifying nature of Lu Zhangsheng.

At the same time.

The deeds of Lu Zhangsheng spread throughout the entire Dazhou instantly.

Countless martial artists were shocked and came toward Yunzhou one after another, wanting to witness it; the final decisive battle made everyone look forward to it even more.

Whether it would be an internal battle between the three giants or if Lord Lu, the strongest dark horse, would suppress the three, left a trace of suspense.

This Wanhua Fruit Gathering became increasingly lively.

……

Capital.

In a side hall of the Yongwang Mansion.

Qin Ruobing leaned against the bedside, looking at the intelligence in her hand, her face flushed with excitement.

Her lower abdomen was already arched high, forming a spherical shape, and her whole person radiated a maternal glow.

As a few months passed, Qin Ruobing discovered that she was likely pregnant with more than one child; otherwise, her belly couldn't be this big.

She had been paying attention to Lu Zhangsheng's information.

Upon learning that the opponent had powerfully become one of the four giants, she was even more joyful.

"Your father will definitely win the Kuaishou and will come to pick us up soon."

Qin Ruobing whispered to her lower abdomen, her face full of tenderness.

These days, she had been trying her best to hide it, but some rumors still came out.

Two days later.

The news about the pregnancy of Marquis Wuyang's daughter spread throughout the entire Capital instantly.

This explosive news surprised countless people, and they began to guess who was so brave.

Even daring to have designs on the children of the Imperial Clan.

A huge uproar was also caused in the Marquis Mansion.

Some bad rumors increased Qin Ruobing's pressure, and many people were slandering her in secret.

"Hey…… have you heard? Marquis's daughter Qin Ruobing is pregnant and has been locked up."

"Really? Wasn't she sent away?"

"Who knows; when the Prince punishes her, I'm afraid she won't escape a disaster."

Many people in the Marquis Mansion began to discuss.

Some people who were hostile to Qin Ruobing clapped and cheered.

In a side room.

A pink-clothed woman looked at the intelligence in her hand, her eyes full of mockery: "Haha…… that bitch is finally going to be unlucky."

Also as a daughter of the Marquis Mansion, Qin Yuxuan had always been at odds with Qin Ruobing.

Their mothers were also competitors.

Seeing her mortal enemy in trouble, she was even more excited.

This news spread throughout the Capital instantly, and she also had a share of the credit.

……

Qin Ruobing was sitting upright on a chair when suddenly a creaking sound came, and the door in front was pushed open.

A yellow-clothed beautiful woman pushed the door and entered. "Daughter, now the whole Prince's Mansion is rumored; if the Prince asks for punishment, what shall we do?"

The beautiful woman's face was full of terror.

She also didn't expect her daughter to be so bold as to get pregnant directly.

"Mother, don't worry; the Marquis will protect us."

Qin Ruobing was confident, her eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

She knew her father too well; Qin Chaoyang had always cherished talent and had infinite tolerance for top Heavenly Prides.

Let alone one daughter, even if he had to send out several legitimate daughters, he would win over the opponent.

Her unmarried pregnancy was just a small matter.

The stronger Lu Zhangsheng's talent, the safer they would be.

"Sigh……"

The beautiful woman sighed softly.

Although that was the case, she was still quite worried.

"After Lu Zhangsheng wins first place, will he come to find you?"

She was a bit skeptical about this; if Lu Zhangsheng refused, no one could do anything to him.

"He definitely will."

Qin Ruobing's tone was categorical.

The two rose from humble beginnings, so their feelings naturally went without saying.

……

In the following days, the Wanhua Fruit Gathering continued.

After the battles of many challengers, the final top ten Heavenly Prides were determined.

Among them, Lu Zhangsheng ranked fourth, and the rankings of Ke Yanfeng and the others had not changed.

Only the final round of the finals remained to determine the rankings of the few.

This day, early morning.

The morning sun rose.

Many figures were already standing on the square, all looking forward to the results of today's battle.

The ten top Heavenly Prides were even more eye-catching.

Lu Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, quietly standing on the Number Four Arena, his face calm.

The breeze blew his white long robe, and the whole person looked very free and easy.

Just then, above the high platform of the Main Hall.

Di Zhiyu slowly walked forward and shouted loudly:

"After several days of selection, you ten have successfully defended your arena master positions; next, the semi-finals will be held to compete for the position of Kuaishou……"

"Everyone come up to the stage to draw lots to determine your opponents."

He scanned the entire field with majesty.

"Shoo, shoo……"

As soon as the voice fell, Ke Yanfeng and the others flew toward the high platform one after another.

Lu Zhangsheng followed closely behind.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of an iron box.

They reached in one after another.

Not long after, each took out a bamboo slip.

Lu Zhangsheng picked up the bamboo slip and looked; it had a "six" on it.

A black-clothed man in the distance also had a "six" in his hand.

The two looked at each other and understood instantly.

They would be opponents in this semi-final.

Gao Mingfeng looked at Lu Zhangsheng with a solemn face, his heart full of unwillingness.

He had also seen Lu Zhangsheng's strength; as one of the recognized four giants, he was definitely not someone he could match.

Drawing him, he could only consider himself unlucky.

Soon, Lu Zhangsheng and the others flew toward the arena one after another, then each landed on the arena.

Gao Mingfeng also stood quietly opposite Lu Zhangsheng and cupped his hands: "I admit defeat."

He didn't choose to fight and admitted defeat directly.

He couldn't even beat Yu Cheng, let alone Lu Zhangsheng, so he didn't bring humiliation upon himself.

Lu Zhangsheng's eyes flickered: "I accept your concession."

He was quite polite.

The crowd off-stage also looked at Gao Mingfeng with strangeness.

This person was so "sensible" that everyone looked at him with higher regard.

At this time, the opponents of Ke Yanfeng and the others also admitted defeat one after another.

The four giants all had byes.

The remaining six Heavenly Prides all had self-awareness and began to compete for the lower rankings.

This also saved Lu Zhangsheng and the others quite a bit of time.

As the rankings of the six were determined, the duel between the four top powerhouses soon arrived.

"Next, the top four rankings will be determined; each person will fight once, the winner gets one point, and the person with the most points wins the Kuaishou."

"The first battle is the Number Three Arena Master versus the Number Four Arena Master."

Di Zhiyu shouted loudly at Lu Zhangsheng and the other three, his resonant voice spreading in all directions.

As soon as the voice fell.

Everyone's eyes looked toward Lu Zhangsheng and Dong Chenghan.

Everyone was guessing who was stronger between the two.

"Shoo……"

Lu Zhangsheng leaped and flew toward the central giant arena.

The violent wind billowed his robe, making a flapping sound.

In a few breaths, he landed steadily in the center of the arena, his face calm.

Dong Chenghan was not to be outdone and fell directly from the high sky, like a great sun descending, with astonishing momentum.

His eyes were full of divine light as he looked quietly at Lu Zhangsheng.

"Admit defeat; blades and swords have no eyes, lest you get hurt."

His tone was very calm, as if he had already won.

As one of the three giants for decades, he had this confidence.

This was the illustrious reputation established by suppressing countless challengers.

"In this life, besides liking fine wine, I like fighting with various geniuses."

"Let This Seat see your strength to see if you are worthy of the position of top Heavenly Pride."

Lu Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his face light and breezy.

He was quite curious about what means this person had.

"Arrogant."

Dong Chenghan's eyes turned cold, and his baleful aura erupted.

A powerful aura permeated the entire field, making the crowd off-stage feel a tightness in their breathing, their faces full of horror.

Lu Zhangsheng remained as calm as water, his body like a high mountain, difficult to be shaken in the slightest.

Under the clash of their auras, violent gale winds blew around, emitting shrill whistling sounds.

The onlookers nearby all stared fixedly at Lu Zhangsheng and the other.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Dong Chenghan's strength is stronger; he clearly occupies the upper hand now."

"Indeed, Lu Zhangsheng is likely to stop at fourth."

"That's not bad either, to be ranked fourth among billions of martial artists."

Seeing this situation, the crowd began to discuss.

Even Ke Yanfeng and Ji Wenrui were full of expectation.

"What does Brother Ke think?"

Ji Wenrui smiled faintly.

He also couldn't quite figure out the duel between the two.

"According to Lu Zhangsheng's strength in dealing with Yu Cheng, Dong Chenghan wins slightly."

Ke Yanfeng's eyes flickered.

He knew Dong Chenghan's strength; it was definitely not to be underestimated.

Even he had to treat it with caution.

"I feel this Lu Zhangsheng will have surprises."

Ji Wenrui smiled noncommittally.

"How about you and I make a bet?"

Ever since Lu Zhangsheng became the strongest dark horse, he had carefully understood the opponent's growth experience.

The more he understood, the more shocked he was.

To be able to rise rapidly with the body of a commoner was simply terrifying to the extreme.

Such deeds were extremely rare among the billions of martial artists in the entire Dazhou.

A golden phoenix coming out of a sewer was like a fantasy.

One must know that they had grown up eating spiritual medicine since childhood, while Lu Zhangsheng had nothing.

For the opponent to be able to catch up all the way, his talent must have reached the heaven-defying level.

"Bet on what?"

Ke Yanfeng instantly became interested.

"Millennium Ice Jade; dare to bet?"

Ji Wenrui glanced over.

"Why wouldn't I dare."

Ke Yanfeng agreed instantly; he always felt that Lu Zhangsheng reaching today was already the limit.

Although the stake was large, he was quite confident.
